Do shale and mudstone have the same appearance?
Very similar, yes, but without the lamination that shale exhibits.
How do you make oil out of shale?
You don't make oil from shale, you extract oil from shale. The shale acts like a sponge, sometimes the shale is so porous that the oil can be squeezed or sucked out, otherwise it can be extracted by crushing and heating the shale.
Why are we not producing oil from oil shale?
The reason that oil shale is not used to produce oil is because this is what keeps the oil well from collapsing after the oil is removed. If the oil shale were mined, the oil well would collapse into a large trench in the ground.
Friction angle of shale?
Its limits are 30 to 35 degrees.
What is a drawback to use of oil shale to produce energy?
Expense
What kind of weathering is common in mica and shale?
Decompression and Exfoliation weathering are common in Mica and Shale.
How common is shale?
Shale is one of the most common sedimentary rocks and thus usually has a lower unit price than rarer clays such as kaolin and ball clay

What are 4 common rocks?
Sandstone, limestone, granite and shale.
What kind of physical weathering is common in Mica and Shale?
In Mica, exfoliation is a common form of physical weathering where thin sheets of mica peel off due to changes in pressure and temperature. In Shale, frost wedging is a common type of physical weathering where ice expands in cracks, causing the rock to break apart.
What is a common parent rock for slate and gneiss?
Shale is a common parent rock for both slate and gneiss. Slate forms from the metamorphism of fine-grained sedimentary rocks like shale, while gneiss forms from the metamorphism of various rock types including shale.
What are the three most common sedimentary rocks?
shale, sandstone, and limestone
What are common uses of shale rock?
it is also used as a filler for paint.
What are two common types of metamorphic rock?
shale slate gneiss
What are the three most common clastic sedimentary rocks?
The three most common clastic sedimentary rocks are sandstone, shale, and conglomerate. Sandstone is composed of grains of sand cemented together. Shale is made of very fine particles like clay and mud. Conglomerate is a mix of larger rock fragments that are cemented together.
Do fossil form in shale or halite?
Fossils could form in shale. Halite is table salt, a mineral with a crystalline structure that is not compatible with understood fossil formation methods.
What rock begins with the letter sh?
Shale Also the lest common shonkonite
